This was followed in 1951 by ExAmerica and in 1952 by The Rise of Empire. When he was twenty-five he was star writer for the old New York Sun.

This book is one of those gems.From the first glance at this book it is obvious that it isn't your normal read. The dust jacket for this book is not the normal monocolor jacket you would expect from similar books. The jacket consists of two pages of reviews from important figures from every niche of society that praise the book. On my particular copy, a widow had written a note to the recipient who was a friend of the deceas
The people voted for sound money. The controlling facts about money are not mysterious. . That was absurd. It was silver versus gold; or inflation versus sound money. It was taken to the people, and the people, not the government decided it. By contrast, in 1896, there was a very grave monetary question to be settled. From the Back Cover Everything that has happened to money was done to it by government, beginning with the deceptive separation of people from their own gold, then a confiscation of the gold, then making it a crime for a private citizen to own gold, together with a law forbidding contracts to be made in any kind of money but irredeemable paper currency, and finally the dishonorable repudiation of the prom
